Last night, Yang Huazhong made an appointment with Yang Ruoqing and the Sun family. The three families went to the grassland to visit relatives and visit Xiang Shengnan.

Xiang Shengnan has been recuperating since he came back last time. He should have visited earlier. But Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang left the village temporarily.

So you waited for me and I waited for you, and it has been delayed until now.

After breakfast, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang came over together, but today Yang Ruoqing was the representative to go to the pasture with everyone, while Luo Fengtang stayed at home to help take care of the children.

By the way, he also has to take care of a pile of things hanging to dry in the yard of his father-in-law's house next door.

"Brother-in-law, are you serious about not coming with us?" Xiao An asked again before leaving.

Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "If your sister goes, she represents me."

"Oh well!"

Xiao An then obediently went over to hitch the carriage.

Mrs. Sun came over and said to Luo Fengtang: "Tangyazi, you have to worry about the things in the yard!"

Luo Fengtang nodded, "Don't worry, mother-in-law."

Yang Ruoqing joked: "Mom, don't say the word "worry" anymore, just go back and make some treats for your eldest son-in-law that he likes. We want something affordable."

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "That's not easy. Just tell your mother-in-law what you want to eat and she will cook it for you when you get home."

Yang Ruoqing said for Luo Fengtang: "Black sesame and sweet glutinous rice dumplings."

Xiao An, who was busy carrying things to the hitched carriage, grinned: "Sister, you are pretending to be self-serving for the public good. That is obviously your favorite food, but you have to cheat on it under the guise of my brother-in-law."

Mrs. Sun glared at Xiao An: "Why are you talking to your sister? She's neither older nor younger."

Xiao An chuckled: "I'm telling the truth, no offense intended!"

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Yes, you are right. I just want to eat black sesame and glutinous rice balls in the name of your brother-in-law. What? Do you have any objections?"

Luo Fengtang saw the two siblings being amused, and smiled and said, "I also like the black sesame and glutinous rice dumplings."

"Hey, brother-in-law, you're telling my sister's lie again. As a man, I can't even accuse you." Xiao An deliberately bared his teeth and exaggerated his face.

Luo Fengtang's face was calm and he loved his wife as a matter of course.

Mrs. Sun stroked her hands and said, "It's simple. When you all come over for dinner at night, I'll make it for you. It just so happened that Lian'er made noodles this morning and fried the sesame seeds."

In this way, Xiao An drove the carriage, which contained rice, flour, grain and oil for the Xiang family. Then Lao Suntou, Da Sun and Huang Mao all came over. Lao Suntou held Dashunzi, and Huang Mao held Xiao An in his arms.

Shunzi, Mrs. Sun is carrying a basket in her hand. There are two cuts of pork belly in the basket.

By visual inspection, if the weight of ten pounds is upward, four points are fat and six points are thin.

"Auntie, your gift is very important!" Yang Ruoqing glanced at the eldest Sun's basket and said with a smile.

Da Sun said: "Hey, this is nothing, our family just sells pork."

"The problem is that you brought too much pork. With so many people there, we won't be able to finish the whole meal," said Sun.

Da Sun curled her lips and said, "Yo yo yo, sister, how dare you think about it. Sister, let me put it aside. This meat is not for our army to eat. I am bringing it to Duo'er and the others so that they can cook it.

Pickled meat for Chinese New Year!”

Mrs. Sun suddenly realized, "This meat tastes good. It's very fat and thin. Sister, Qing'er is right. The gift you gave is both important and practical."

The Xiang family doesn't have many relatives, so they can marinate pork belly with two big knives like this, which is perfect for entertaining relatives and friends during the first month of the year.

"Sister, why isn't my brother-in-law here?" Mrs. Sun looked behind the Sun family for a few times, but she didn't see Xiaojie's father.

Da Sun said: "He can't come. There are so many pigs in the house, so we have to leave someone to take care of them."

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "It's a pity that my Tangyazi doesn't have much experience in feeding pigs, otherwise I would let him take care of me."

Luo Fengtang thought for a while, "I think I can try it."

Mrs. Sun waved her hands hurriedly: "How can that be possible? What kind of identity is Tangyazi? How can we ask him to help feed the pigs? Besides, there are fifty or sixty pigs in our pigsty, so it is better to let your uncle take care of it.

"

Sun also said to Yang Ruoqing: "Stop making trouble."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and walked back to Luo Fengtang, tilting her head to look at her. He also looked at her with a smile.

This girl, seeing that he can lead thousands of troops, wants to get fifty or sixty pigs to let him practice his skills?

No problem, when one day he is discharged and returns to the farm, he will open a pig farm and take her to feed the pigs together, ensuring that there is meat for every meal.

Everyone joked and laughed for a while, teasing the big and small Shunzi brothers, and then the two old men, Lao Suntou and Lao Yangtou, were helped onto the carriage by Yang Huazhong.

Xiao Shunzi also stuffed himself into Lao Suntou's arms and followed him in the carriage.

Dashunzi, who is six or seven years old, was unwilling to take the carriage and clamored to leave by himself.

Huang Mao was so angry that he pulled his ears. You couldn't walk for two or three miles. It was so comfortable to ride in a car with your great-grandfather.

But this kid just couldn't understand and accept the adults' kindness and insisted on going on his own.

Da Sun said: "Huang Mao, please let him go, so as not to make him cry."

Xiao An also said: "It's okay, it's okay. I won't be able to walk anymore, so uncle will carry me on my back."

Huang Mao had no idea. He glared at Dashunzi and turned around to arrange things.

Yang Huazhong was driving, and there were two old men and Da Shunzi sitting in the car. There was some space in the car, and there were some gifts.

On the wooden board at the back of the carriage were two hundred kilograms of rice, flour, grains and oil, and about ten kilograms of pork belly brought by Mrs. Sun.

Fortunately, I found two horses to pull the cart together. If it were one horse, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to pull it.

Even so, Yang Huazhong was still reluctant to ride in the carriage. He didn't want to burden the two horses with his weight of 130 to 40 kilograms, so he simply led the horses away.

This made everyone else following behind laugh.

Yang Ruoqing said: "My father loves horses more than usual."

Xiao An said: "If my father were fifteen years younger, I would take him to the Ministry of War to manage the stables."

Yang Ruoqing added: "Our father treats the horses as part of the family. I have seen him taking care of the stables several times. Hey, he is such a careful person."

When the weather gets cold, a thatch blanket is put up around the stable to keep out the wind and cold. Grass and wood chips are evenly sprinkled on the floor of the stable, including the horse's fodder.

The group of people walked to the pasture chatting and laughing. Although it was winter, with the sun above their heads and the north wind blowing, everyone was in a very excited mood. They talked and laughed all the way, and they walked for three miles.

Unknowingly, it came to an end.

From a distance, you can see the iron gate of the pasture is wide open, Lingling and Jiaojiao are pulling in the gap of the iron gate, one is pulling and the other is pushing, the two girls are having fun.

"Lingling, Jiaojiao, look here, look here."

When the two children heard the shouting, they turned their heads to look for the sound, and then they saw the large army.

Lingling didn't know what she said to Jiaojiao. The two children came down from the gap in the iron gate. Jiaojiao ran towards the army like a girl, while Lingling turned around and rushed into the grass yard to report to Duo'er and the others.
Chapter completed!
